I talk a big game when it comes to achieving buoyancy in the face of stress and uncertainty. But that doesn’t mean I live a perfectly balanced, blissful life, facing all challenge and adversity with the ruthless grace an

When I lived in London in my early 20s, I took up juggling. The city was a hot spot for the best jugglers in Europe, who could make a lot of money as street performers in Covent Garden, the South Bank, and Camden Market.
In the original Karate Kid movie, Daniel spends what seems to be days of wasted time performing menial chores for Mr. Miyagi. Four days of waxing the car, sanding the floor, refinishing the fence, and painting the walls.
As a coach, trainer, and facilitator, one of my great strengths is empathy. I’ve learned how to tune in to other people’s emotions, which means that I can help guide them to better places. When I’m working, I can stay at
Fraud Today I feel like a fraud. On the one hand, it’s Monday, and time to draft this week’s Buoyant Leader newsletter. On the other hand, I’m feeling decidedly non-buoyant: sluggish, sad, scared, and stuck. I open my no

A team of Swedish researchers recently set out to answer a question on everyone’s mind: What happens when you drug a bunch of baby salmon with anti-anxiety meds? They exposed Atlantic salmon smolts — young salmon making
Augustus III, King of Poland, received a cover letter in July 1733 from a German musician — some fella named Bach — attached to a bunch of sheet music. Here’s part of that letter: “In deepest Devotion I present to your R
Are You as Smart as an Amoeba? A brainless, single-celled organism can navigate mazes, design efficient transit networks, and reliably find opportunity — with nothing more than raw sensitivity to its environment. Can you
If you ever want to make me feel inadequate, suggest to me that I “be fully present.” For a long time, that was my aspiration. A thousand yoga and meditation classes drilled into my head that the highest virtue is to “be
Pretty much every leadership article about imposter syndrome says the same thing: dispute it, push through it, power-pose your way past it. Cut a mantra-groove in your brain: “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggo
You're in a one-on-one with a direct report. They're telling you about a problem — maybe a project that's off the rails, a team dynamic that's souring, or a client relationship that's circling the drain. About thirty sec

Are You Reading the Room, or an Old Wound? In her book How Emotions Are Made , neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett tells a story of going on a date with a guy from her lab that she wasn’t really into. As the date progres
Your brain uses about 20% of your body’s total energy budget all by itself, before a single muscle moves or a single molecule of food gets digested. Which means it has to be ruthlessly efficient in how it spends those ca
I teach leaders two things that are both true, and mutually contradictory. One: know everything as soon as possible. Two: unplug often. Ruh-roh. How can you do both without losing your mind or your edge? Leadership Imper
